FUNDING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Your purchase gives back, helping fund Community Development Programs throughout northern India.
Our woodcraft partner artisans belong to collectives in northern India that provide basic services and development solutions to enable self-sufficiency, including healthcare and education. Literacy rates and income opportunities are quite limited in the area, so woodcraft production is vital for community livelihoods. Most woodcraft artisans are men and some women work in finishing and production assembly. The main focus for their continued development is sustainable income generation, skills development and raw material allocation.
ABOUT THE CRAFSTMANSHIP
The traditional craft of woodcarving plays an important role for many artisan communities in small towns and agricultural villages in north central India. Each artisan uses hand tools to skillfully carve blocks of sustainably harvested wood into fine treasures. This art form requires mastery to create the intricate carving, filigree, and inlay work. Many of the patterns are deeply influenced by cultural motifs from Muslim dynasties that ruled the region centuries ago. Artisans finish and detail each item with natural wax and non-toxic paints.
